Introduction

• General Requirements

• Professional Products

• TEC Products

• OM Products

10

General Requirements

Summary of Feedback – DFEs

•Lower energy requirements for Type 1, Category B

DFEs will lead to use of lower-compute-performance

DFEs – Will not keep up with the engine of Imaging Equipment and

increase total system energy usage

•Add a third category for high performance systems

based on server processors

11

Proposal – DFEs

•Higher-speed DFEs necessary to support

Professional Imaging Equipment

•New definition for Professional DFEs based on

ENERGY STAR server definition:

12

Proposal – DFEs

•Only a reporting requirement for professional

DFEs due to limited data at present

•Requirements for remaining DFE types reverted

to kWh/week:

13

14

Professional Imaging Product Requirements

Summary of Feedback –

Professional Imaging Products: Definition

•Need to be able to clearly differentiate from office

equipment

•Require weight greater than either 180 or 200 kg

•Clarify that the monochrome product speed

requirement shall not apply to color products

15

Proposal – Professional Imaging Products

•Adopted the additional weight requirement at 180 kg

•Clarified the speed criteria:

•No separate requirements for Professional Imaging Products – Continue to treat as TEC products;– Separate requirements referencing Professional Test

Procedure to be included in Version 3.1

16

17

TEC Product Requirements

Summary of Feedback – TEC Requirement:

Dataset

•Do not exclude older V2.0 models if still on the market

• Include non-certified products

•Do not exclude models that have the same print speed,

TEC, and other data as other models

•Remove duplicates

•Manufacturers provided supplemental industry data

18

Proposal – TEC Requirement: Dataset

•Revised the dataset to include the latest ENERGY STAR

certified model data, across all years

•Removed models that were:– OM, or TEC copiers and fax machines

– Sold Only Outside the United States

– With document less than standard (210 mm)

– With no color information

19

Proposal – TEC Requirement: Dataset

(continued)

•Removed multiple entries for product family models – Members of the same product family based on Product Type,

Speed, Color, Size, and TEC Test Procedure Measurements

(i.e., not just the final TEC result)

– Some Brand Owners qualify product family models

separately while others do so under one parent model

•EPA also coordinated with 13 manufacturers, who

reviewed the dataset and provided some corrections:– Removed models no longer being sold

– Made corrections to the data

– Added non-certified models20

25

Summary of Feedback and Proposal –

TEC Reporting

•Revert reporting TEC to a weekly basis (kWh/week), not kWh/year

•Reverted the measure to kWh/week– Avoid customer confusion– Enable historical comparisons

•Proposed to continue showing both kWh/week and kWh/year on the ENERGY STAR Product Finder and Public Dataset

26

Summary of Feedback and Proposal–

TEC Requirement: A3 Adder

•A3 models require more power than A4 due to device

configuration

•Maintain the current A3 adder

•Following updates to the dataset, there was a

difference in pass rates between A3 and A4 models

•0.05 kWh/week adder balanced the pass rate

27

Summary of Feedback and Proposal–

TEC Requirement: Wi-Fi Adder

•Since Wi-Fi uses more power than USB, ENERGY STAR should include a Wi-Fi adder for TEC products

•Updated dataset included only 20 TEC models with Wi-Fi– Additional models expected in the future– Models with Wi-Fi and USB (tested with Wi-Fi disconnected

under the current test method) had higher pass rate than models with Wi-Fi and no USB (tested with Wi-Fi connected)

• 0.1 kWh/wk allowance (~0.6 W) balanced pass rates– Within the range of Wi-Fi allowances in other ENERGY STAR

specifications28

Proposal – TEC Requirement

29

Summary of Feedback –

TEC Requirement: Duplexing

Remove duplexing requirement at lower speeds (color at 16-

20 images per minute (ipm) and mono at 11-25 ipm):– Not harmonized with Blue Angel

– Half of affected products do not meet

– Customers do not need automatic duplexing

• Low-end, low-speed TEC products have low print volumes– Limits the amount of energy to be saved with duplexing

•Request for analysis/methodology

30

TEC Requirement: Duplexing

31

•EPA’s original analysis found significant unit savings of

embedded energy due to Draft 1 requirements

•However, only five color and 15 monochrome models

would be affected, reducing the total savings – For about half of these models that EPA reviewed, limited

duplex options available or the upgrade would incur

significant cost.

Proposal – TEC Requirement: Duplexing

32

•Keep current speed bins•Require duplexing by default (harmonized with Blue Angel)•Eliminate duplexing through optional accessory at intermediate speed bins (19<s<35 ipm color; 24<s<37 ipm monochrome (not used by many products)

>>

Summary of Feedback and Proposal –

Recovery Time

•Remove recovery time requirement:– New test would be burdensome

– Print speed difference between letter and A4 makes the

requirement more stringent than Blue Angel

– Requirement would require new technologies to meet

•EPA continues to propose recovery time requirement:– Already measured as part of TEC test

– Little difference in results between A4 and letter tests

– 75% of currently certified unique TEC models can meet

33

Summary of Feedback and Proposal –

Recovery Time Equation

•The time subtracted from tActive1 should be be tActive0,

not tActive2.

•The quantity tActive0 is measured immediately after

the TEC model is placed in Ready State, so it is a more

reliable measure of response time from that State.

34

35

OM Product Requirements

Proposal – OM Adders

•No feedback on Cordless Handset and Internal

Disk Drive OM adders, but no longer seem

necessary

•Propose removing them from Table 9: Sleep

Mode Power Allowances

36

Discussion

• EPA appreciates any feedback and relevant

data on these topics:

– General Requirements (DFEs and Professional

Products)

– TEC Product Requirements

– OM Product Requirements

Introduction

• Measurement Uncertainty

• Paper Size and Taiwan Market

• Network Connection: USB

• TEC Test Procedure Measurement of Active

Times in Seconds

39

Proposal – Measurement Uncertainty

40

•Relax uncertainty requirement to 0.02 W

between 0.5 and 1 W

•Consistent with IEC 62301 Ed. 2

Summary of Feedback – Paper Size and

Taiwan Market

• Remove the separate paper requirement for Taiwan,

to avoid a separate test in addition to US

• Include letter-size/75g/m2 paper, which is used in

Taiwan government offices

41

Proposal – Paper Size and Taiwan Market

•Test with either A4/70 g/m2 or 8.5”×11”/75 g/m2 paper– Will allow manufacturers to use the same conditions as in

North America for models sold in both Taiwan and North America, while allowing others with models specific to Taiwan to test them with more typical paper

42

Proposal – Network Connections: USB

43

•Added clarification to ensure that products are tested in a repeatable fashion – The speed of the USB port has been found to impact

power draw

Summary of Feedback – Measurement of

Active Times

•Active Times in the TEC Test Procedures

should be in seconds, not in minutes

44

Proposal – Measurement of Active Times

• Require measurement of Active0, Active1, and Active2 times in the

TEC test methods in Table 8 and Table 9 in seconds

• The time is typically shorter than 1 minute and is furthermore

displayed in seconds in the ENERGY STAR public dataset.

45

Discussion

• EPA appreciates any feedback and relevant

data on these topics:

Introduction

• Separate Test Method

• Departures from ISO 21632

• References to Section 4.5.4 of ISO 21632

48

Summary of Feedback and Proposal –

Separate Test Method•Place Professional Imaging Products test method in one discrete section of the specification • Will “allow accredited labs to limit the scope of their accreditation to exclude Professional Product testing“

•Reached out to one CB•Drafted a separate test method for Professional Imaging Products to help ease laboratory accreditation

49

Summary of Feedback – Departures from

ISO 21632•Test Professional Imaging Products with

default settings, and other conditions from

ENERGY STAR test method rather than

ISO 21632

•Single-phase Professional Imaging Products

are more similar to TEC products (ENERGY

STAR) than three-phase products (ISO 21632)

50

Topic ISO 21632 Proposed Departure

Pre-Test UUT Configuration for Professional Imaging Products

• Two required machine combinations, best-quality (BQ) and best productivity (BP) (Section 4.1)

• One BQ/BP test

Color • BQ Combination: All colorants of the system shall be used (Section 4.1)

• Tested under the default (as-shipped) setting with four colors

Product Speed • Production print (BP) - The printing mode selected by the manufacturer or user of the UUT for use when acceptable print quality is required at high speed.

• Highest speed as claimed by the manufacturer per the criteria in V3.0 Draft Section 4.1(K)

Proposal – Departures from ISO 21632

Topic ISO 21632 Proposed Departure

Ambient Temperature and Relative Humidity

• Ambient Temperature: 20 °C - 25 °C• Relative Humidity: 45% - 60 %

(Section 4.1)

• Ambient Temperature: 23°C ±5°C

• Relative Humidity: 10% - 80%

Paper Specification • BQ Combination: Substrate selected for achieving the best possible saleable print quality (Section 4.1)

• One Test• A4 or 8.5” x 11” (depending on

market)• 127.9g/m2, 85lb, or equivalent

Service/Maintenance Modes

• The energy (kWh) consumed for each operation shall be measured and reported.

• The frequency with which each maintenance operation is required to be performed and recorded. (Section 4.3.3.1)

• Tested with default settings• Without disabling the

automatic adjustment function of color or registration (if it is incorporated in the default setting)

• Manual processes excluded to ensure repeatability

Summary of Feedback –

References to Section 4.5.4 of ISO 21632•The proposed test method for Professional Imaging Products should be as specified in Section 4.5.4 (Combined Test Flow) of ISO 21632. – The test method should include Job 1 energy and the

average of Jobs 2 and 3, along with Off Mode and Sleep Mode.

•A streamlined test procedure

•Keep the main provisions of ISO 21632 – e.g., skip test print, sleep, 5% consistency check between

jobs, etc.

53

Proposal –

References to Section 4.5.4 of ISO 21632•Reference Section 4.5.4 of ISO 21632, which in turn

references specific preceding sections of the standard

•No longer reference Section 4.4 Measuring Conditions

(covered by test setup instructions based on ENERGY

STAR)
